Tom Was a Friend of Mine - Reckless Kelly

Well, the clouds were rolling in and I was driving when the grapevine broke the

news

Over trail creek it was snowing, I was hoping that the rumor wasn’t true

Then silence filled the air like there would never be another sound again

Tears came to my eyes, I felt like I had lost my dearest friend

Tom was a friend of mine

We’d known each other most of our lives

We used to hang out all the time

Tom was a friend of mine

It’s impossible to put to words the way he always seemed to understand

How you felt like he was sitting there just shooting straight and talkin' man

to man

And I’m thankful that I got to see him at his very best from time to time

And I pray that we may meet again someday, somewhere farther down the line

Tom was a friend of mine

We’d known each other most of our lives

We used to hang out all the time

Tom was a friend of mine

Say hi to Spike and Lefty

When you reach the great beyond

And I hope you’re somewhere you feel free

Where you belong

Tom was a friend of mine

We’d known each other most of our lives

We used to hang out all the time

Tom was a friend of mine

We’d known each other most of our lives

He wrote a lot of songs with me in mind

Tom was a friend of mine
